Markets are rattled as geopolitical risk collides with stubborn inflation and rising interest rates. In this episode of the Cents of Security Podcast, host Mary MacNamara is joined by Jose Torres, Senior Economist at Interactive Brokers, to break down what’s driving the latest volatility—from surging oil prices and elevated yields to weakening AI momentum and cracks in private credit.
They unpack why traditional safe havens aren’t behaving as expected, how investors are positioning beneath the surface, and what China’s slowing growth means for global demand.
